Could you modify a BIOS for me please?
  • http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=7515&type=bios
  • MSI P7N Diamond Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6ghz (400x9)
  • 4GB of OCZ Reaper HPC @ 1066mhz
  • 500GB Maxtor SATA HDD
  • 2xMSI 9600GT SLI
The problem is the system starts running the boot loader and begins loading the disk and then bamn reboots. Even when I do a -v to see the errors it reboots too quickly for me to read the error. I turned off APCI and I did see something about kernel panic. I am completely new to OSX86 but not new to PC's. This is something new for me to try. Any help is appreciated!

Hi!

Is it possible to get a unsupported Wlan MiniPCI-Express card working?
I bought a Dell 1430 with BCM94321MC.

I dont know if my second core working correctly.

The link to the original BIOS is: ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/notebook/asp...s/BIOS+3.60.zip

I got an ACER Aspire 5633 WLMi.
And I cant change the SATA-controller in the BIOS. Can´t change anything. Lame BIOS :-(

BIOS(windows version):http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=4Core1600Twins-P35&T=B&ID=2122

I get all sorts of kernel panics, It seems it is each time something else(thats why i'm not posting them).
Allso booting with cpus=1 flag doesn't work.
I saw some guys with (almost) my computer specs and they had no problems installing and runing both cores(iAtkos and Leo4all i think).So i would appreciate very much if you could modd this BIOS.

Hi, Kabyl! (I tried to leave a message on the osrom.net board, but without luck)

I would like to request a mod for ASROCK P45TS motherboard.

Here are the links:

http://download.asrock.com/bios/775/P45TS(1.30).zip - DOS BIOS ROM update (latest)
http://download.asrock.com/bios/775/P45TS(1.30)Win.zip - WINDOWS BIOS ROM update (latest)

My CPU is Core 2 Duo T6550, my chipsets are Intel® P45+ ICH10 Chipsets, my graphics card is nVidia GeForce 9400GT 512 Mb.

The problem is that I can’t even load iAtkos install DVD v5i, because it just reboots after it starts loading the install DVD. The issue is the same as I had with my Conroe 1333 motherboard and after applying you patch everything worked just fine. The other problem is that this board has different BIOS settings than in 1333 conroe so it’s hard to find what the new names for VCCM voltage and VDDQ voltage are.

Thanks!

Hi!

Please mod the following Firmware for me:
MSI P35 Neo-F fw v1.9

I'm using the MSI P35 Neo-F with an Intel E8400 with stepping E0, which means fw v1.8 or above is obsolete. Fw v1.9 is the latest available.
I've seen you have already modded fw v1.7, but it will not work.


Thanks in advance and best regards, lebasti

Greetings Kabyl!
Seems you made a lot of people BIOS happy.

My story:
After a lot and unsuccessfully tries I succeed my OSX86 install with iDeneb v1.3 (10.5.5) on my ASUS V1Sn - AG009E.
I have to say, the only way was to use your "V1Sn301AS" mod. Thank you!

My problem:
To see my both cores in Leopard, I have to boot manually with "cpus=2". Otherwise, I have just one core…
Is there an issue for this?
My Hardware:
- Model: Laptop Asus V1Sn
- CPU: Intel Core Duo T7700 at 2.4GHz
- Chipset: Mobile Intel PM965 Express Chipset +ICH8M
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9500M GS, External 512MB VRAM

My BIOS:
- Original BIOS (from ASUS): http://squarelabel.com/_files/V1Sn302AS.zip

As you see, my BIOS was originally a 302 version so I had to downgrade to your modded version 301 (I don't found a V1Sn302 mod in your list)
Maybe a mod version of this V1Sn302 will work better for me.

In advance, Thank you!

Please correct me if I am wrong, but can't you simply generate a custom /dsdt.aml instead of mocking with your BIOS ROM? Wouldn't this approach be a lot safer?

Also, what exactly and how do you change the BIOS ROM? Is there a step by step manual/guide for this?

Note: I did a: cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.aml and iasl -d dsdt.aml on my Ubuntu 8.10 box to generate dsdt.dsl but I can't find that alias you seem to remove!
p.s. I also have acpidump installed, and that dumps this in my terminal window: "Wrong checksum for OEMB
Wrong checksum for OEMB!"

Hi Kabyl!

I have an MSi GX620 laptop, and I think, it needs to be patched, because the installer only boots with cpus=1 quote.

Dear Kabyl,

Can you modifie bios for asus P5KPL-AM
MOBO: Asus P5KPL-AM
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
VGA: GeForce 9800 GT
Link of bios: http://support.asus.com/download/download....SLanguage=en-us
Link 2 of bios: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=48GGLDVH

My problem is that my motherboard FSB is locked at 411 mhz. When i raise FSB over 411 than motherboard doesnt detect my sata disk. Hope you can fix that.

I hope to hear from you soon,
best regards - Christian

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S: I was reading alot about locked FSB for my motherboard and i came to conclusion it is because of PCI. Here is what i found most interesting on one of the forums:

"Yup, P5KPL doesen't detect sata drives if you reach a higher FSB than 410.
I had this problem too.It's because of the southbridge and PCIEX.
on p5kpl you don;t have the option to raise or lock the pciex to 100... and the board encounters problems... glitches... "

Hope this helps for you.

Could someone please help me? I've downloaded the zip file from the site for Asrock Conroe 1333 D667...I updated to the latest bios 1.80, but I cannot run the file inside the zip...it is unix executable file.The other is MD5 file...How can I modify my bios?

Processor: Intel core 2 duo E8200

I found a problem with quad-core CPU on my custom PC.

open apple.com.boot.plist (the important one) and check the key with 'flags' in it.
Mine said cpus=1 -f

Which means it boots with one core in 'old safe mode'
Just remove -f and set cpus to 4 and you're done.

Haven't actually test it when you remove the cpus flag as well. maybe it boots with 4 cores then too..

Hi

I did the same using iDeneb with Asrock Conroe 1333 but nothing.Computer don't boot....I repaired the file now and everything is fine but with 1 core... sad.gif

Does this topic stil works or not?
Thx for answer wink.gif

U guys do not set right the paameters in the bios, the asrock 1333 is a BOMB! it works very nice with leopard retail vanilla kernel ...


In Bios setup for the CPU disable the second and last parameter put it to DISABLE i dont remember the second parameter but i remember the last is the speedstep....

once u installed the 10.5.5 u can enable the speedstep!

I have this motherboard working fine withou dsdt pacth, thnx to kabil bios, deep sleep works very nice, im using pcefiv9/chameleon 1.012 without dsdt pacth!

For 132 boot u can use the generic iso boot!

i have damaged audio onboard so i had to use one usb card for audio, but i know audio is working fine too.

SO DONT COMPLAIN and search on the forum!

Yes, but how...the extracted files from zip are 2.Firs is MD5 file and the second is UNIX executable file...How can I run it?

P.S. my point is to get all 2 cores working.Do your OS recognize correctly your processor?

I've been building hacky's with Dell machines now for a while, and up till now only used Dell precision 470's and 670's because they had 2 processors in them and used Xeon processors.(best fit to Mac Pro's).
I recently have made a hacky out of a Dell Optiplex 745, with an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache, and a Geforce 8400 GS 256 meg video card.
I have it all running(using Leo4AllV3 as the installer) but I do have this problem.
This Hacky is only using 2 of the 4 cores.
I've read thru alot of these post on this thread, and understand that the Dell's Bios hasn't been able to be modded.
What I havn't seen here is that noone seems to get more than just 1 of the cores working(Dual or quad) on their Dells, and I am wonder why I am seeing 2 cores working?

I eagerly await a mod for dell, and just thought I would put this out.(maybe it will help in figuring out a Bios mod for Dell:)

cheers

Hey folks

I have a P35D3 MSI motherboard. I have been working for YEARS trying to get any version of OS X working with my motherboard. I HAVE FINALLY FOUND ONE!!!

After readin a few threads of bios mods and findif that not one was made for my board I started trying some more downloads out.

I have tried versions from 10.4.2 to 10.5.6, the only one that has worked was from the pirate...(can't specify on this site) and it was named something like "XxX leopard 10.5.6". Do your normal searches and you'll find the site it's on. I did not have to use a bios mod for this, and this was the only download that actually worked.

I know this is a rare mobo and very few people have it.

I was able to get Ubuntu 8.10 installed and thats when I decided to try mac os again. My bios firmware is 1.6

I set all my bios settings to what everyone else has listed for this series of boards and it worked with only this distro.

The only issues that I ever experiences was having to do the "cpus=1" on install and first boot, after that I never had to do it again. ALthough I dont know if it is using both cores of my e6750, at least I know that osx reconizes both cores being there.
